The Trusts are making it lively for other cities than Chicago. The Philadelphia syn dicate has in St. Louis obtained control of all except one of the lecal companies in spite of the fact that the charter of it's own com pany provides that it shall not enter either Trust or a pool, and the additional fact that one eff the absorbed companies was re- strained by it's charter in the same way. Fol- lowing the example furnished by Chicago St. Louis now asks the courts to declare forfeiture of the last named company's fran chise. The proceedings will directly affect, it is said, the Philadelphia speculators' con- pany. In Baltimore it is proposed to consol- idate the existing companies, raise the price of gas and water the stock up to $17, 1000, ,000. The opponents of this company are some of the stockholders of one of the companies, and it is said that if the Trust makers shall win the legislature will be asked to reduce ths gas rate to $1.25.
 Senator Platt of this State never makes a speech that doesn't contain something worth hearing. At meeting of the Republican league of Washington he said: The Repubi- can party needs just two things, and those are courage and conscience. I don't care which you put first, conscience or courage, or courage and conscience. That is what it needs to win. The Republican party needs courage to take on the aggressive, and the moment it does it it will be on the road to victory. sometimes get discouraged when
 find my Republican friends sitting down I and taking things they come and making 1 no effort to win back what they have lost, | and which we will never win back until we | fight for it. Never until we attack the enemy.
 If the Republican party had done one-half of the things which are open to criticism that l the Democratic administration has done ! within the last two years and a half that it
 has been in power, every Democratic paper
 in the land would be an attacking body
 against the Republican party; and if we are going to win we have only to commence the attack. The Democratic party and this Dem
 oeratic administration is open to criticism,
 and we want to attack it along the line. That
 is the duty of this league, to infuse spirit in
 to Republicans all over the land to point out the spots where the Democratic party and administration is vulnerable to attack.

At the last session of Congress an appro- priation was made for the collection of sta- tistics of marriage and divorce in every State of the Union. These statistics are now be- ing gathered. They will show when and where the parties were married and when and where divorced, in how many cases the husband and in how many the wife was con- plainant, how many children there were by each marriage and for what cause the di- vorce was granted. This information will be very interesting and instructive.
 The question of the proper disposition of
 the dead is attracting more and more atten- tion. The latest idea comes from Washing ton, where is offered a suggestion which may be regarded as removing some of the most | strenuous objections alike to earth burial
 and cremation. The promise is to place the
 dead in little dramatically sealed cells within | mausoleum, and to connect these cells with a distant furnace by means of tubes through which 8 strong pressure of air Is maintained, the result being the thorough drying of the body and it's perpetual preser- vation. How practical this may be remains | to be seen.
 Some years ago the pearl button factories | of Newark, New Jersey, employed ,500 peO- | pie and paid them handsome wages. The ! Forty-seventh Congress reduced the tariff on | the rough shell to 20 per cent. ad valorem,

 The free traders of this country are losing
 some of the support which they have hitherto found in England. The following, from the Court Journal, indicates the change that is
 going on there: The emphatic pronounce ment against free trade at Oxford on Tuesday has produced a small scare in liberal circles.
 Among the working classes in the towns and l the laborers in the villages the constant 1 theme of their conversation and their won derment is free trade. Wages are going down everywhere, and the workman and laborer have long begun to suspect that free trade is the cause of it. So strong and general is
 this feeling that while the Golden club used 1 to laugh at Fair Trade, they are now fright 1 ened lest any leading public man on the con- l servative side should take it up. The cry of

INFANTILE SKIN DISEASES

All ordinary remedies failing, we called family physician, who at- tempted to cure it. but it spread with almost in- credible rapidity, until the lower portion of the lit down to his knees, one solid rash, ugly, pain ful, blotched and malicious.

lions that man dislkes to give up for the
uncertain tenure Of political life.
The term OF the governor Of Mississippi is
Tor four years, and Governor Lowry is now in
the third year Of his second term. The leeis-
lature meets every two years, and does not
have adjourned sessions like we do in Geor-
gia. With 10 state debt worth speaking of to
take care Of, with but few questions of public
Interest disturbing the people, tile work OF
tho MlssiSsippl legislature for the past few
years has been without much interest The
two questions that the people have 10 decide
within the next five years are in part uues-
tions that affect materially nearly every gulf
STATE Inc dI5rosltiCn OF It's CCuYictS is al
ready bone Of contention, and has provoked
much debate in and out Of the lcgis-
lature. The state has practically
decided that the wall system is expensive and
costly, and has temporarily leased the convicts
TO the Gulf and Ship Island railroad, but this
lease is only temporary, and in few years the
legislature will be Obliged to make permanent
disposition of these unfortunate creatures.
The levee system, or the protection of the
delta country from the overflow of the Mis-
ssspri river, viii always be great question
in the state. OF course congress is looked to
for help in this matter. Mississippi, nor
any other state, could successfully
check the inroads Of this monster,
and the general government with it millions
Of surplus is not able to effccutually prevent
these overfiows, but the state and the govern
ment can, in great measure, SO guard and
measure the disastrous effects of the rushing
waters. This is the great problem that con-
fronts the state. Solve it, and she will be able
10 offer TO the world the richest and most yalu-
able agricultural lands in all creation. The
failure Of the river and harbor bill at the last
congress was a great disappointment to the
people, but they bravely went TO work and did
in their own small way what they were able
to ,r; DO for the protection of their lands
The Mississippi people have wonderful re-
sources in an agricultural way in their possess
sion. 1t can never hope TO become a manufac-
turing state, for the reason that il has no water
power; it will never be known for its miner
al resources, for as far as it is known there are
no marketable minerals within its borders. God
intended it to be an agricultural community
and if the people realize this fact in all its sig
niticance and 90 TO work to build up and de-
velop that interest, Mississippi has as bright a
future before it as any other state in the land
and in time will compare with any in progress
and wealth. IL. H. z.

France in 100 years has only twice seen the
supreme executive peacefully transferred in the
regular line by regular succession; once when Louis
XVIII died and was succeeded by Charles X it 1924.
and again when President Greyy succeeded himself
in December, 1886. Every other change has been
By violence the threat Of violence or overwhelming
political demonstrations. The last ives true even Of

The Result Of MGrit,

When anything stands a test of
fifty years among a discriminating
people, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. Few,
if any, medicines have met with
such continued success and popu-
larity as has marked the progress of
Rrandreth's Pills, which, after
trial Of over fifty years, are conceded
to be the safest and most efleotual
blood purifier, tonic and Alternative
ever introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit,
and that Rrandreth's Pills per-
form all that is claimed for them,
is conclusiyely proved by the fact
that those who regard them with
the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest.
Brlndreth's Pills are sold in
every drug and medicine store,
either plain or sugar-coated.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup, within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff.
ferent principle from the usual prescrip-
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will ave doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold byall druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, ~ cents, large
bottles.
